Join us at VBS this Summer!
July 10-13 6-8:30pm
Registration is open to participate in our summer vacation Bible school. We have opportunities for youth and adults to participate as Program Leaders, Skit Actors, Crew Leaders and assistant leaders in all areas. The past 2 summers we had 15 youth engaged in teaching, encouraging and playing with the children who attended. It’s a great way to practice leadership, communication and presentation skills. (NHS and JrNHS students can record service hours and it looks great on job and college applications!)
We’d love to have you and your friends join us again! We’d love to help you find your fit! Descriptions of the available positions are in the VBS Online Registration system or you can reach out to Janet Hilsmier directly. There’s also plenty of prop building and set decorating to do in advance, and we’d love help with that as well! Come on, join us!

Our team of 14 includes 5 youth and 8 adults. Please keep us in your prayers for safe travel and experience. Join us at worship on July 23 for a mission trip recap!
Save the Date! The ELCA National Youth Gathering will be held July 16-21, 2024
We’ll be heading to New Orleans in 2024! We will have informational meetings about the Youth Gathering later this Summer and in the Fall. This event is for all youth grades 8 through 12 in the ‘23-24 school year. Chaperones will also be needed, so Moms & Dad: think about how you can experience this with your sons/daughters!
